I have ZERO expertise here, but doesn't whirling make skeletal formation issues. I recall a few months back folks posting pictures of strange looking, short, stout, rainbows that seemed like they might have had a chunk taken out of them, but in hindsight...perhaps, disease?

Yup, I've seen whirling in several places over the years. I think it's here ALREADY.

I never caught a trout in the Hooch with "whirling type" spinal deformities in almost 20 years.

I caught 2 in 2016 that looked like whirling, and 6 in 2017, already seen 3 this year.

If it's in the Watauga and SOHO it's here, or will be shortly. Alot of people don't disinfect waders or boats.
